Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Before, Xie Lao didn't say anything, and even when Zhou Lao asked, it was no use.

Now that Old Xie has spoken up, his gossipy nature can no longer be hidden.

Such a miraculous thing happening around us definitely needs to be investigated.

Moreover, everyone is getting old; they don't lack money, but they lack health.

In fact, it wasn't just Old Zhou who was interested in this matter; everyone present craned their necks, waiting for Old Xie to continue.

Mr. Xie was very satisfied with everyone's reaction.

That's more like it; that's the effect we wanted.

Even Mayor Wu seemed to feel less stomach pain upon hearing this.

Old Xie nodded proudly: "That's right, I was cured by the sacred medicine passed down from Brother Ye's grandfather. Look, I drank quite a bit of wine today, and I'm perfectly fine, completely cured!"

As he spoke, Old Xie stood up and patted his round belly!

"President Xie, where is that medicine you mentioned? And who is this Brother Ye you mentioned?" Principal Su asked hurriedly.

There was no other sound in the room; everyone was quietly waiting for Professor Xie's answer.

Old Xie chuckled, "Hehe, it's both far away and right before my eyes!"

As he spoke, Elder Xie pointed to Ye Chen, who was standing to the side!

Ye Chen smiled slightly and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the crowd: "My grandfather spent his life healing and saving countless lives. He left behind a medicine specifically for treating gastrointestinal ailments. However, its effectiveness varies from person to person; it's not some kind of miracle cure!"

Ye Chen said something modestly.

The people present were all big shots; relying solely on Xie Lao's endorsement was clearly insufficient.

If you start boasting at this point, it will backfire.

Only actual medicinal effects can prove everything.

Many people then took a serious look at this youngest special guest in the entire event.

This person doesn't seem to be in the medical field; they seem more like someone in the entertainment industry.

Ye Chen took out a small box, opened it, and revealed a small ball sealed with wax.

"Mayor Wu, would you like to take one and try it out?" Ye Chen didn't put the medicine down, but held it in his hand.

At this moment, Mayor Wu's female secretary spoke up: "Nonsense! It's the 21st century! We should trust science. Traditional Chinese medicine is for health preservation; how can it cure diseases and save lives? The mayor has acute appendicitis; how can he eat random things? He should go to the hospital for a thorough examination first!"

Old Xie smiled and said, "I used to think the same as Secretary Du, that hospitals could cure all diseases. But I learned a lesson the other day. You'll never get another chance like this."

Ye Chen was not in a hurry and quietly watched Mayor Wu.

After all, whether he eats or not is his choice.

Secretary Du firmly shook his head: "No, Mayor Wu can't take medicine haphazardly. If something bad happens, who can take responsibility? You, you, do you even have the qualifications to produce pharmaceuticals? This is an unlicensed product!"

Secretary Du's words were sharp, and since it concerned Mayor Wu's safety, he, as the secretary, could not back down.

If anything happens to Mayor Wu, it will be his dereliction of duty.

In his view, traditional Chinese medicine is for health preservation and conditioning, and it is completely ineffective in treating acute symptoms.

Besides, he genuinely didn't believe in such superstitious folk remedies.

If it really had such good results, how could it still be unknown?

To be honest, Ye Chen was very unhappy with Secretary Du's attitude.

The mayor hasn't even spoken yet, what are you babbling about?

And who said traditional Chinese medicine is only for health preservation? His grandfather treated patients from several villages in the past!

He definitely doesn't have a production license!

The products manufactured by the system may indeed be, in a sense, products without proper documentation.

However, Ye Chen did not openly contradict Secretary Du!

Even a seventh-rank official stands before the prime minister's gate!

Offending a top secretary would only bring him harm.

Moreover, women are most likely to hold grudges, so Ye Chen naturally didn't want to make things difficult for himself.

Since Secretary Du had already said all that, Old Xie didn't say anything more to persuade him and quietly sat back down in his chair.

Haha, this scene seems familiar.

Oh well, oh well, it's not him who's suffering anyway.

The patient himself isn't worried, so why is he worried?

He could now understand Ye Chen's feelings at that moment.

Mayor Wu had been observing from the sidelines, clearly harboring doubts about the drug.

"I'm just using this to improve my own health; I don't sell it. What kind of certification do I need?" Ye Chen smiled.

"Brother Ye, forget it, you should keep it. It's not easy to make, keep it for your own emergency use!" Old Xie said at the right time.

Ye Chen nodded and made a gesture as if to put the pill into his pocket.

Anyway, he has already expressed his goodwill; whether others appreciate it or not is another matter.

"Wait, Ye, Ye Chen, I want to give it a try!" Mayor Wu finally spoke up at this moment.

Secretary Du, standing nearby, became anxious: "Boss, you can't just eat anything! You have to trust science!"

Mayor Wu glared at her: "Why didn't you think to stop me when I was drinking earlier!"

Secretary Du opened her mouth, but how could she stop her? She couldn't hold her liquor.

Ye Chen stepped forward, placed the pills on the table in front of Mayor Wu, and then withdrew.

Secretary Du almost threw the pill away, but Mayor Wu's cold gaze made her hesitate.

Secretary Du obediently cracked open the pill and handed the dark pill to Mayor Wu, while also bringing him a glass of warm water.

Never mind, even if I eat such a small piece, it shouldn't cause any major problems. At most, I'll just need to wash my stomach.

Secretary Du could only console herself with this thought.

These middle-aged people have poor awareness of fraud prevention; we'll have to install an anti-fraud app on our bosses' phones from now on!

Mayor Wu took a deep breath and put the pill in his mouth.

The moment the pill entered his mouth, Mayor Wu's eyes lit up. The pill melted instantly in his mouth and didn't cause any choking.

And he seemed a bit more energetic.

Ye Chen knew that it must have been that cool sensation that had refreshed him for a moment.

Everyone in the room stared intently at Mayor Wu, observing the changes in him.

Secretary Du, however, kept a close eye on Ye Chen. If anything happened to the mayor, she would definitely grab Ye Chen, the real culprit, immediately.

As time passed, Mayor Wu's brows relaxed, the pain on his face vanished, and he seemed much more at ease.

After about a minute, Mayor Wu opened his eyes, his eyes filled with undisguised joy!

People at his level usually don't show their emotions, so it's not hard to see that Mayor Wu was genuinely happy!

"Good, good, good!" Mayor Wu said three times.

He stood up and twisted his waist a few times, while rubbing his stomach.

At that moment, he seemed to have all his ailments gone and his body had returned to a healthy state.

This feeling of ease and comfort is unforgettable.

He hadn't felt this relaxed since he started working!

"Ye Chen, your grandfather was truly a miracle doctor! The medicine he left behind has such effects; it's truly an eye-opener for me!"

Mayor Wu was genuinely happy at that moment.
